What is a Credential in Copado?

In the context of Copado, a Credential represents a crucial component for integrating and managing access between users and Salesforce environments. Specifically, it acts as a connection that allows users to authenticate and interact with Salesforce instances securely.

This connection ensures that users can deploy changes, pull metadata, and perform other actions within the Salesforce environment as needed for their projects. Credentials are essential for establishing the necessary permissions and authentication protocols that maintain security while enabling effective development practices.

The other choices do not align with the specific function of a Credential in Copado. While user identities and roles are important in defining permissions, they do not specifically denote the established link to a Salesforce environment that Credentials provide. Similarly, a list of project tasks pertains to team management rather than user access, distinguishing the unique role of Credentials in the Copado ecosystem.
